How do I fix a scratched nonstick pan? Can I continue using the pan? Here is my advice on how to fix a scratched nonstick pan…and how to prevent it becoming so bad.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Scratching and wearing of the nonstick surface exposes an aluminum base. When it gets to this stage, there are a few things you can do. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I’ve used many a nonstick pan over the years. The following are my recommendations on various options, based on what I’ve found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

cover the scratched cooking surface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Try this trick if you want to get extra mileage out of your scratched pan…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Cut out a round piece of parchment paper (AKA baking paper) in a size to fit the inside base of the pan<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    1. Lightly grease the surface<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      1. Fry as you would normally <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        You’ll get that nonstick, low mess result! — without food contacting a compromised nonstick surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Do nothing – Continue using the scratched pan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        A few scratches (minor marks) are not so bad, but…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If the pan loses its nonstick feature (becomes stickier) or the surface becomes badly worn, is it worth it? I don’t recommend this approach where it would compromised your food with micro bits of coating flaking off or exposure to bare aluminum areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Replace it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If the scratching is bad and unsightly, maybe it’s time to replace the pan (and see if you can recycle the old one<\/a>). You can get a new nonstick pan to suit your budget — See my list of ceramic nonstick types.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Refinishing — Removing nonstick coating <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
